Karl Rove is right...
[Read the article: Karl Rove is ... right?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]the same way that a stopped clock is right. Twice a day, for all of two seconds.
I have no use for this guy's editorials, or for Rove himself. He's an order of magnitude worse than Lee Atwater, and Atwater was despicable. If Salon wants a right winger's input on what congressional Democrats are doing wrong, at least find a somewhat reputable right winger. Huckabee's interview is already up on this site. Chuck Hagel also springs to mind. Or Olympia Snowe. Even John Warner!
Not this heinous excuse for a human being, whose alienation to speaking the truth is so great he needed five tries to get his grand jury testimony straight.

Couldn't have said it better
[Read the article: WSJ Op-Ed page decries hatred of the president]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]"However they put it, the Democrat (sic) approach in Iraq comes down to this: The terrorists win and America loses"
George W Bush - October 30, 2006
"Liberals saw the savagery on 9/11 attacks and wanted to prepare indictments and offer therapy and understanding for our attackers."
Karl Rove - June 22, 2005
It's one thing for Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, and Bill O'Reilly to talk that way, but this is the President of the United States and his Deputy Chief of Staff.
These people are shit and have earned nothing but scorn and contempt.
*************************************************************
Neo-cons talking about civility is akin to Bush talking about fiscal restraint.
Spare me. Berkowitz, Bartley and the rest of these apologists are so full of it they float.

Bush didn't have a mandate, and he's acted as if he did for seven years
[Read the article: George Will's preemptive strike]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I cannot take most Op-Ed pages seriously anymore. It sounds like Limbaugh or Rove wrote the majority of these articles themselves. David Broder is no better than Will. Be warned, rant approaching. From today's Post (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/11/14/AR2007111402030.html):
I wrote:
Uh, Dave...
Didn't Krauthammer write this column about two weeks ago? Are you two sharing papers like fraternity members at many colleges?
Why does it burn Dave's and Chuck's collective @$$ that Bill might be First Spouse in January?
First, I'm experiencing BUSH fatigue right now, after seven years of Dubya, Cheney, Rove and the rest of their cronies. I fervently wish that folks in the White House were more intelligent, less ideologically rigid, more pragmatic and BETTER SPOKEN.
Sounds a bit like the 42nd president, what I just described, doesn't it?
Easy, Dave. Don't forget to pass the anti-Billary frat paper to F. Hiatt next, so he can take a shot. I know he doesn't want to be left out.
End rant.

For X. Hutman and "Pedantia"
[Read the article: Conversations: Brian De Palma]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Excellent post.
I hope that your casting of rhetorical pearls isn't wasted on fellow commenters (no, I won't call anyone, neo-con or no, swine; not today, anyway).

I'm just glad...
[Read the article: McClellan implicates Bush, Cheney in Plame lie]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]that McClellan finally told the unvarnished truth about something.
No, I don't expect this revelation to bring about impeachment or even another spate of administration and/or Cabinet resignations. Only this: it is good to know that not everyone affiliated with this administration is allergic to the truth.

Bush's education (and his complete inability to express himself)
[Read the article: Goodbye, "Decider." Hello, "Mr. Interrupter"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Dubya went to Phillips Andover Academy. Then to Yale for his undergraduate degree. And then, a Harvard MBA.
I figure the curriculum at Andover includes English class. Most likely three years of it, including literature, composition and style, and possibly some impromptu debate during class time.
I imagine Yale also has been known to offer English. I'm almost certain about, though I did not attend an Ivy League school.
And this man, who is in excellent physical health (according to the Washington Post), who says he's sober, and hopefully did not get PTSD from his days with the Texas Air National Guard, can barely complete a sentence.
His dad can express himself, in his distinctive nasal tone that shows his New England upbringing. Jeb can. I have a feeling most or all of the clan is well spoken. Except George Jr.
P.S. Our 42nd president was from a small town in Arkansas. Grew up without much material wealth, unlike the Bush family. He can express himself eloquently. Even when dealing with biased reporters like Chris Wallace.
